ten minutes

It's the time it took me to slap an open security envelope and one of last week's doodles on the scanner and make this image.

Thoughts:- I knew this wasn't something that I'd normally do (make a collage type image) but I decided to try anyway.- I felt out of my comfort zone.- It's hard to pick just one color.- Why did I have to pick just one color?- I doodle a lot of leaf inspired shapes. A lot.- I want to make a simplified version of this.- It's not the best thing ever but not everything needs to be perfect.- I like that you can tell it's hand drawn.- This has given me an idea for a paper project.- I didn't really think much. I just went with whatever came to mind—quickly.

Conclusion: I should do this more often.

The true reason why I wanted to write this post: to bump my birthday post further down the page. Enough with that already. However, I do appreciate all your lovely wishes. Thank you so much. I had a great day and weekend celebrating with my family.
